Product Description

Darjeeling teas are grown in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains in northeast India. The high altitude, soil and climate of the Darjeeling plantations contribute towards the unique and delicate taste of this tea. Twinings Darjeeling uses the finest first and second flush teas (those picked in the spring and summer) in this blend. Darjeeling is often regarded by connoisseurs as one of the finest teas. Darjeeling is best drunk black or with a touch of milk. The light golden black tea from the foothills of the Himalayas is considered the champagne of all teas. They are expertly blended with a delicate and unique character that is likened to the Muscatel grape.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Deal on Darjeeling!
Having been an avid fan of Darjeeling teas for decades, including a variety of brands, I find Amazon has the best deal ever on my favorite tea! Since I use at least 3 bags of Darjeeling every day - occasionally 5 or more - as well as a couple of bags of other teas for variety - this Amazon deal can't be beat! So far I've used over 800 Darjeeling bags bought via Amazon! And counting...

A tea I will NEVER be without
Twinings was founded in London, England in 1706, and has a long and respected tradition of producing only the finest of teas. The history of Darjeeling tea goes back to the 1840s, when Dr. Campbell, a civil engineer, planted tea seeds in his garden at Beechwood, Darjeeling. The result was a nice light tea with excellent color and aroma. Darjeeling tea gained a considerable following, and is now highly prized as the "champagne of teas!"

OK, let's get down to brass tacks - this is an excellent tea, produced by a great company, and a tea I will NEVER be without. The tea has an excellent aroma and flavor and is harder to over-steep than some other teas that I have known. Also, something of a surprise is the fact that this tea tastes at least as good iced as it does hot! As such, year round you will find me making Twinings' Darjeeling tea.

So, here's the bottom line: if you want a tea that is excellent hot AND cold, then Darjeeling is for you. If you want tea from a great tea producer, then Twinings is for you. If you want the best tea in the world, then buy Twinings' Darjeeling tea!

Best Tea in the World!
Darjeeling tea is the very best tea in the world, and Twinings is the best brand I've tasted by far. Often, however, I have trouble finding the tea locally, so to have the luxury of setting up a regular order from Amazon is wonderful--not to mention, far less expensive that I can ever find it around here. And I love to look in my pantry at those lovely big boxes of my favorite tea!
